This Tentacle System base rotates on a 608 bearing. You can either add magnets inside to create stable points where rotation stops, or you can omit them and the base rotates smoothly.
This turntable can be useful for photography, or model building or painting.
Required Parts:
- One 608 bearing
- Optionally up to 23 6x2mm neodymium magnets
Assembly:
- Print one of each part
- Push the bearing into the center of the bottom
- Glue the middle and top pieces together using the bearing to align them (or align the outer edges)
- If you want to use magnets, all the magnets in the bottom should be the same polarity and the ones in the middle part should be opposing them not be attracted to them. Otherwise, the magnets will create friction instead of stable points and the turntable will not rotate smoothly.
- Use any Tentacle System grip that suits your purpose
The magnets usually stick in place without any glue, but you can glue them in place if needed.
